Yeah his is a non-RID DTivo. We did skip the stuff in red. The only thing we did different is use vi instead of pico to create the rc.sysinit.author file (We're both trying to get better with vi). Channel 100 wouldn't come in, which of any that one should. We tried a couple others as well with no luck. We we are going to blow that drive away and try again tonight. That's weird that after a reboot you got it Loren, we tried a couple reboots, clear & deleting everything, more reboots. Hopefully tonight goes better!
